+Switch Binary Sensor
+====================
+
+.. seo::
+    :description: Instructions for setting up switch binary sensors with ESPHome.
+
+The Switch Binary Sensor platform allows you to view the state of any switch component as a
+read-only binary sensor.
+
+.. code-block:: yaml
+
+    # Example configuration entry
+    binary_sensor:
+      - platform: switch
+        name: "Output state"
+        source_id: relay1
+
+    switch:
+      - platform: gpio
+        id: relay1
+        pin: GPIOXX
+
+Configuration variables:
+------------------------
+
+- **source_id** (**Required**, :ref:`config-id`): The source switch to observe.
+- All other options from :ref:`Binary Sensor <config-binary_sensor>`.
